Homemade Butter Scotch Candy

Good Evening guys! I hope you all had a splendid weekend. Today is one of those days I feel nostalgic and have a sweet tooth. What best way to curb this craving than whip up some homemade butter scotch. Butter scotch is a popular treat to have as a snack when that sweet tooth carving kicks in. Growing up in Sierra Leone this snack was a lunch and after school treat that I enjoyed indulging in with no guilt.

Preparing butter scotch is every simple and easy. You only need two ingredients butter and sweetened condensed milk. The only tricky bit is the moulding stage. You have to be quick at moulding the candy into mini balls before it hardens up.  You have a window of about 10 to 15 minutes.

Ingredients

1.      150 g unsalted butter

2.      379 g of sweetened condensed milk

Ingredients 

Method

Stirring butter and milk in medium heat

     1.      Before you start, have a bowl of water and about 2 table spoon of either melted butter or vegetable oil and a large plate ready and aside.

      2.      Melt 125 g of butter in a cooking pot in medium heat.

     3.      Pour sweetened condensed milk into melted butter.

     4.      Use wooden spoon to mix butter and milk together until you have soft golden brown gooey consistency.

     5.      Turn heat off and let the mixture set for at least a minute then start moulding into mini balls. BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS! The candy will still be piping hot.

      6.      Rub some oil or butter in your palm then using table spoon scoop tiny portions of the candy and mould into round mini balls. Use water in bowl to cool your hands as you go along. Repeat this step until you mould all the candy.

      7.      Depending on how small you mould the balls you should have about 15-20 pieces.
